Spicy Goan Beef Curry recipe. .

Visiting Ramadan Market ~ one of the many things I missed ....celebrating Ramadan in Malaysia...
The moment I stepped foot into the market... feels like I was on another planet ...

'Planet Food'.

The arrays of food on sale... flavours from Coast to Coast, North to South of Malaysia... home cooked meals, all time favourite cakes, sweets and traditional kuihs, freshly squeezed sugar cane drink, cenduls....and a lot more... all in one place... 
I know some of us who now resides in another part of the world... misses Malaysian Ramadan market... right?

Do you have one near you? and what is the market like?

One will not be able to find Goan Beef Curry... in the Ramadan market... perhaps something  similar ~ Mutton Curry.

  1. Lisa, when I saw the crescent moon August 1, I thought of Ramadan. I do not know much about it, so I did some readings last night. It's always good to learn something new, cultural celebrations of friends near and far.

    Thank you for sharing! Selamat (SALAMAT in my Philippine dialect).

  16. hi lisa, i'm not really sure of the goan beef curry , is this a typical indian curry dish? looks so good. I have not been to the wet market for the last few days but there are these malays stalls operating somewhere not too far from my house, like what you said, all selling different kinds of kuihs, roti jala,their cooked dishes, noodles, chicken..so many more. Now i'm just waiting for their lemang to appear by the roadside..
